Thyroid The thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth and development in children. The thyroid hormones promote growth hormone secretion and independently promote growth in the peripheral tissues of the body. Insufficient thyroid hormone leads to growth failure by delaying bone growth and bone maturation.

In children, GH stimulates growth and development.

Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland (a small gland at the base of the brain) does not produce one or more of its hormones or else not enough of them.hen there is low or no production of all the pituitary hormones, the condition is called panhypopituitarism. This condition may affect either children or adults. The pituitary gland sends signals to other glands, for example the thyroid gland, to produce hormones, such as thyroid hormone.

Short stature: Causes, types, and treatments Growth hormone-releasing hormone is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus. The principal function of growth hormone-releasing hormone is to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone into the bloodstream.f the hypothalamus produces too little growth hormone-releasing hormone, the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland is impaired, leading to a lack of growth hormone (adult growth hormone deficiency).
